Hello all,<div><br></div><div>Over the last few months Arthur Chapman and I have been (unfortunately rather slowly) pulling together a charter for a Citizen Science Interest Group (CSIG); this charter (available at <a href="http://bit.ly/JPQpal">http://bit.ly/JPQpal</a>) was ratified on March 9.  We&#39;ve had a bit of trouble pulling a wiki together, so until we get that figured out, we&#39;re using a Google Group for messages and other information.  If you&#39;d like to join, please request an invitation through the Google Group: <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/tdwg-CSIG">https://groups.google.com/group/tdwg-CSIG</a>  </div>

<div><br></div><div>If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don&#39;t hesitiate to post to the group&#39;s forums, or email me or Arthur directly.</div><div><br>Thanks,</div><div><br><br>Andrea Thomer<br>
